Recruiter | Tech | Aerospace — Building Teams that Solve Problems!

The opinions shared in my content and posts are for personal use and reflect my position only.

👋 Hi, and welcome to my page!

I’m an aerospace and technical recruiter, content creator, and passionate advocate for the job-seeking community. Every day, I connect people to opportunity because I believe people are the pillars that hold up any successful company.

Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of building a community of 70,000+ professionals. What started as a small effort to help a few job seekers has grown into daily content that supports and uplifts thousands around the world.

I’m especially passionate about partnering with brands and platforms that enhance the hiring experience and empower recruiters and job seekers to succeed. Reach out if you want eyeballs on your product or service—I love highlighting tools that make a difference.

A bit about me: I’m originally from the UK and now living in Florida with my wife and daughter, enjoying my slice of the American dream. I’ve traveled to 37 countries (and counting), and I plan to reach all four corners of the world. When I’m not recruiting or creating content, I’m likely enjoying great food, board games, or a good workout.

If you’re looking for a job in the aerospace industry, reach out. I’d love to help.

Thanks for visiting. Cheers!
